The Public Authority for Roads and Land Transport is preparing to open the Fifth Ring Road Tunnel this coming March, Al Jarida reported quoting sources. The completion of the Fifth Ring Road development project will improve traffic flow and reduce traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, such as Al Siddiq, Al Salam, Hatteen, Surra and Qortouba.
The development project of the Fifth ring road includes the construction of a tunnel in both directions with sub-paths towards Surra and Qortouba, and others towards Al-Siddiq and Al-Salam, in addition to converting Damascus Street into an overpass.
